Digital Audio Matrix System NPX System
8 8 Audio Matrix System The NPX system is an 8x8 audio matrix system that allows you to select and broadcast a variety of source sources in any location. You can select the source and adjust the volume directly through the local controller and audio input device in each output area. In addition, the NPX-8000 provides high-performance S/N and THD, and various DSP functions for tuning the input and output audio to set up BGM broadcasting in places where natural ambience and image are required. The NPX system can be used in various places such as exhibition centers, hospitals, hotels, shopping malls, restaurants and cafes where high quality BGM are required. And also it can be used educational facilities such as conference centers, seminar rooms, audiovisual rooms and auditoriums that require rich and clear sound. 2 NPX SYSTEM

Optimized Audio Matrix System The NPX system supports DSP(Digital Signal Processor) for optimized sound, PC program for remote monitoring and controlling, and mobile application. The NPX system can transmit various BGM broadcasts and announcements to a number of output areas, and control the broadcast output of each area through a zone controller. 8x8 Analog Audio & Contact Closure Input / Output Configuration CH8 CH7 CH6 AUDIO INPUT CH5 CH4 CH3 CH2 CH1 NPX-8000 consists of 8 channels of analog audio and contact closure input/output AUDIO OUTPUT terminals. Various audio sources such as CD, Tuner, and MIC are input through the analog CH8 CH7 CH6 CH5 CH4 CH3 CH2 CH1 audio input terminal, and the input audio signal is output according to the NPX-8000's matrix setting. In addition, it can be linked with external device via 8 channels contact input /output terminal. Audio Control Through DSP, High-Quality BGM Playback The input/output audio features HPF, LPF, EQ, Programmable Delay, Limiter, Mute, Gain, etc. It plays high quality sound source suitable for installation environment. You can adjust the DSP value of all areas with the PC program MP-8000 and the mobile application, and adjust the sound of each area through the zone controller, NLM-8000C. Setting Scheduling PC program for system integration control MP-8000 allows you to set up a schedule broadcast that can be used to reserve a specific sound source for the required time, day of week, and feature date. Sound Source Playback Through SD Card The SD card (up to 32GB) allows you to play BGM without additional sound source device. 4 NPX SYSTEM
Front LED Indicator For Various Conditions You can intuitively check the status of audio input/output, power, LM/RM link, connection status of PC program MP-8000 through LED. PC Program For System Integration Control It is possible to control all the devices configured in the system with the PC program connected to the device intuitively and systematically through the Ethernet network. Mobile Application For Remote Monitoring And Controlling On mobile phones and tablet PCs, user can select sources, control volume, play SD card back, output contact closer, recall preset, and monitor and control your NPX system freely and conveniently with mobile apps. Support ios 6.0 or later, Android 4.0 or later Zone Controller And Audio Input Device For Distributed Control The zone controller (NLM-8000C) installed in each output area allows user to select the sound source to be output to the area, adjust the volume, and input the sound source directly through the wall-mounted audio input device (NLM-8000A) Remote Microphone For Informative Broadcasting With the remote microphone (NRM-8000A), user can select desired area or entire area to broadcast messages, notices, calls, etc. You can select broadcasting area with LCD and 10 key buttons installed on the front, and announce starts and ends with chime button.

APPLICATION Places High Quality BGM Is Needed Gallery Hospital Restaurant Retail store Hotel Wedding hall Shopping center Park LPF, EQ, Programmable Delay, Limiter, Mute, Gain, etc. are set for the audio input/output by setting the DSP value In the places such as exhibition hall, hospital, hotel, shopping mall, restaurant, cafe etc. where high quality BGM broadcasting is required, the NPX system achieves sound suitable for each environment by setting DSP value to adjust the functions of HPF, LPF, EQ, Programmable Delay, Limiter, Mute and Gain for the input/output audio. 12 NPX SYSTEM
Application of NPX System Digital Audio Matrix System <Ordinary CU-20 Series column speaker frequency characteristic> <Frequency characteristics complementing the influence of sound of the installation site> Inter-M s CU Series is all-round column speaker that can be used both indoor and outdoor such as educational, cultural, office, and gym facilities. Our new CU Series is composed of 4 series 14 models, and provides clear voice delivery and high quality BGM playback. In addition, through a combination of CU Series column speaker and NPX system, users can adjust the sound parameter delicately with built-in DSP, which can improve CU Series column speaker s sound quality. For example, users can control the reflection sound from the ceiling or wall which allow the listener to have more clarity, and are able to set adequate sound at right time to avoid noise from crowd especially in shipping complex, train station, and airport, by scheduling function. Ordinary frequency characteristics of CU-20 Series provide high clarity and sound quality, and the user can achieve even better sound by using NPX system s built-in DSP. NPX SYSTEM 13
